I am going to use this technique right now for a bunch of my sites. What i was wondering though by doing this are you also creating backlinks for the pages you are linked on when you submit the rss feeds?

This is something I had not done for any of my backlinks, I am assuming you can do this for backlinks from guest posts and backlinks from comments, or is this pointless when your backlinks are from comments (especially if they are nofollow?)

Yes absolutely I do this for ALL my backlinks including no follow links. I have read many opinions on no follow links some say to focus only on do follow other say have 90% do follow 10% no follow and the most recent article I read on seomoz said to have a balanced amount of no follow vs do follow. So it’s a real touchy, opinion based topic.

I have seen many of no follow backlinks get indexed and show up in yahoo site explorer so I quickly chose to create backlinks whether it do follow or not but of course a bigger focus on finding do follow links.

Wow Joshua, that’s pretty powerful. I keep a data sheet of my backlinks as well and I’ve been pinging them too but I didn’t know we could create and submit them as RSS feeds. I’ve been using Pingler with each backlink and that takes a very long time because you can only ping one URL at a time. This is going to help with both backlinks and saving time which I desperately need. I really appreciate you sharing this and I’ll get started with BulkPing right away.

I myself find there are three ways to go with link building. The first way is to keep building links. As many as possible and forget about getting those links indexed. Because as you keep building links, even if the percentages of your links getting indexed is small, it still adds up.

The second route is to build less links but get them indexed every time. I know this might not be the case, especially if you work with article marketing and blog networks. They won’t tell you the URLs.

And the final route is to build as many links as possible and get them indexed. This should be the way to go but only a few do this. And I will try my best to go this way 😀

Hello Joshua , I knew little about rss before I read this passage ,thanks for it helps me so much 🙂 and I have a question is that:

when I am creating the RSS feed (in the 1st step),I’m required to fill the blank with
Your WebSite’s URL: ex.: http://www.mysite.com/ ,what is the “website url” here? Does it mean the website to which I create the backlinks ? I mean, if I get 100 urls with backlinks to http://www.aaaaa.com (just for instance) , and I want to create the rss feed(.xml file) ,I have to fill the blank with “http://www.aaaaa.com”,is that right ?

Hey Kingkong lol…Yes you are right you will input http://www.aaaa.com. I personally keep a separate file of my backlinks for each site so I don’t mix up my backlinks and have that multiple domain problem.

If you have multiple sites and multiple backlinks from the same site you can create a different rss feed for bbbb.com and then do it again for cccc.com.

Thank you for your reply~
Usually how long does it takes to get the backlinks indexed ?I have finished the 3 steps yesterday,but it seems none get crawled yet now 🙁
do I need the repeat the steps for more times ?

Hey Joshua!! thank you very much for this amazing post. It was very helpful. I´d like to ask you: How do i know that my backlinks are indexed (especially when Yahoo Site Explorer is dead:() and does this indexing of my backlinks help to boost my rankings? Thank you for your help!

Hey Tina! Yes it does suck that Yahoo shut down their site explorer. An alternative is SEO spyglass which you can download their free version. Just google SEO spyglass and its the first result. There are also other paid services like Majestic Explorer but you should be ok with Spyglass.

And yes of course it is crucial for Google to index your backlinks if not it does not help your rankings at all to have links that are not indexed. If Google doesn’t index your backlinks they basically don’t exist and you won’t get credit for them.

Hello Mr Joshua Zamora, thank you for the guide, i am new here, i am still confuse… At the step 1 (4), there are URL links (recomended 500), How can i get 500 URL link..? and at the step 2, there are RSS URL and RSS Title, what are the different between RSS URL and RSS Title ..? Should it put “www” at the RSS URL…?. I am apologize for my english. It’s not excellent. I am from indonesia. Thank you

when I say 500 links this means that you have built 500 links to your website. You can get backlinks from a ton of different ways Article links, press releases, document sharing sites etc. the RSS url is the feed that you create of all your links. the URL is the actually link and the Title should be the main keyword you are targeting.

Glad to have you here man. How did you find my site? 8) just curious. And yea Bulkping is excellent and has several services that help you do quite a few different things. I’m glad you enjoyed the post.

Thanks for the thread. I out source alot of my backlinks, they always send the urls they submitted them to, i just recently started investigating indexing links and i found your tip on keeping a list simple. I don’t know why i never thought of it. I would assume that any decent or high ranking site you have a link on would be crawled regularly, so your advice i believe would mainly be for sites with a lower page rank. I am guessing that any link on a site that isn’t crawled regularly Would not be a good idea especially now with penguin and panda ?

WOW! That is all I can say. I have paid for this service on Fiverr before and it adds up. It was a bit intimidating at first but after reading you post a couple of times and then slowly following the directions- I did it!! I now feel like a SUPERHERO!!! No joke!

Obviously this was a great post and until I get it stuck in my head I will be spending all of my time here, following your instructions. Thanks, really, THANKS for providing such great content that is super helpful. This has been a changing moment for me in my site operations.

1. To do my indexing steps.
2. To be able to go back and put links on those same sites for every keywords I want to target. Kind of like building your own network of sites where you can get backlinks from.
